    @prestop You can open the images in paint, select all, copy, then paste here.

    If you did a debug deploy and you eventually got to a prompt, that means it finished its task. It either had errors or it finished the task without errors…Also, there is a log file in /var/log/forgotname.log on the client you are running the debug on.

    PS I forgot to mention, I do not actually use DNS in my setup.

      @GoodGuyQ
      Believe me guys - I’m not trying to be difficult, I wasn’t sure how to get them posted.
      I did go to Imgur and here’s the link:

      I think this is an awesome product and I greatly appreciate everyone’s responsiveness and interest. Thank you very much.
      This is really strange - it certainly seems like it should work.

      Thanks again.

          are those all in the right order? also, did you type “fog” more than once?

            @Junkhacker No, I’m sorry they are not in the right order.

            I did the debug w/image several times, but these were taken from the first try. And yes I did type FOG more than once, and then it would come back with ‘no active task’, as explained to me.

            Sometimes I would have to hit Enter more than once to get it to move to the next step. I took the pictures each time I hit Enter as I recall.

              @Junkhacker And If I need to do it again and take each picture and then make sure they’re in order, I would be more than happy.
              It’s a weird situation, I don’t even have two monitors (no spares here) and have to use an old TV/monitor in this little room where the server sits.

                i forgot how the init for fog 1.2.0 wasn’t always the most informative.
                do you have a way to backup/restore the server and are you willing to try using the development build of fog?

                  @Junkhacker I’m afraid I’m not the sharpest tool here. I’ve been IT for a while but more desktop support and hardware. It took me a while just to figure out to do some basic Ubuntu tasks. I may not be able to do it - but I’m game for a try.

                  My apologies for my newbieness.

                    are you running ubuntu directly on a compter, or is it in a VM?

                      @Junkhacker it appears to be just a dell - no vm. and the previous admin didn’t say it was.

                        do you have access to a hard drive large enough to create a backup of the server with clonezilla? while this isn’t strictly necessary, i believe in creating backups of anything you rely on.

                          @Junkhacker I think so, I’ll look around, I think there are some systems sitting around. I’ll have to try on Monday - working this weekend elsewhere.
                          What should I do: download clonezilla and copy the server over?

                          Thanks again.

                            that’s the idea. create a backup image of the server as-is so you can try things out but be able to restore to the point where you took a backup if something goes wrong.

                              @prestop Ok, now we are talking! In this picture I see “Checking Hard Disks” and then three times [Enter]. Normally this is the part where the blue partclone window comes up (which would flush the messages on screen). Seems like it just does not come up for you. So it’s most probably not deploying anything to the disk. Just to make sure this image on the server seems valid show us a listing of ls -al /images/MMHOptiplex7020.

                              By the way, is this a complete new and empty disk you are trying to restore an image to? FOG 1.2.0 had some issues with completely empty disks if I remember correctly. I know this is not nice but that’s the way it was back then. Please fill the disk with one big primary partition and quick format once with whichever filesystem you like.

                              If that is not helping then please run another debug client session and show us a picture of the following commands:

                              fogpartinfo --list-devices
                              fogpartinfo --list-parts /dev/sda
                              

                              Note to myself: Thank god we got rid of fogpartinfo in FOG trunk!!!

                              Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

                              Please support FOG if you like it: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Support_FOG

                                @Sebastian-Roth Hello requested images here: http://imgur.com/a/bFDPH

                                The disks had Win7 on them at one time = then FOG wiped them.
                                I did try formatting one with a 7 install disk and rerunning FOG, but more of the same.
                                I have now used the install disk to doublecheck one primary created and it is formatting now. I will try to FOG it shortly but I don’t think there will be any change.

                                TX

                                  if you’ve backed up the server with clonezilla, we could try upgrading the server to a dev build now, if you’d like

                                    @prestop Confirmed - no change when making disk one partition and formatted - NTFS.

                                        to bring your server up to date with the same build i’m running in production, you can run this

                                        cd ~/
                                        mk dir trunk
                                        cd ~/svn/trunk/;svn checkout -r5428 https://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code/trunk ;cd bin;sudo ./installfog.sh
